    Predicting Bank Return on Equity (ROE) using Neural Networks
    (2021) Balci, Tolgay; Ogul, Hasan
    Measuring the performance and profitability of the banking sector, which is the most important part of a country's financial system, is always important. Thanks to the performance measurement, banks can understand the competitive situation, their potential to grow, and the risk, and be more successful in sustaining their lives. This study is considered all state deposit money banks in Turkey. In the literature, using of artificial neural networks (ANN) in banking performance evaluation is rarely studied. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the possibility of ANN utilization for predicting return on equity of Turkey State Deposit Money Banks. The paper compares the accuracy percentages of optimization algorithms of ANN using eleven years quarterly data of six exogenous variables and eight endogenous variables as independent variables and the average return on equity from quarterly of all Turkey state deposit money banks as dependent variable. Given a number of recorded financial parameters, the task is to predict banks' performances using ANN computation methods and to compare prediction results with real results. To evaluate these methods, we built a data set from Banking Regulation and Supervison of Agency, The Banks Association of Turkey and banks' quarterly financial reports. According to all experimental results in optimization models were estimated with above % 80 accuracy. It is determined that the best optimization model is different for each bank.

    Objective Pain Assessment Using Vital Signs
    (2020) Erdogan, Burak; Ogul, Hasan
    Pain is considered as an emotional experience and unrestful feeling associated with tissue damage. The feeling of pain occurs when the interpretation starts in brain; as a signal is sent through nerve fiber to the brain. Pain allows the body to prevent further tissue damage. Since there are different ways of expressing and feeling pain, the experience of pain is unique for everybody. In this respect, objective pain assessment is a key step and a major challenge in proper management of pain in different individuals. In this study, we offer a computational solution for objective assessment of pain using vital signs. To this end, we have reported the prediction for existence of pain by calculating the performances of several computational methods that take the sequence of vital signs acquired until pain observation as input. We claim that the use of computational intelligence methods can encourage computer-aided monitoring of pain in a hospitalized environment to a certain degree. (C) 2020 The Authors.

    On computer-aided prognosis of septic shock from vital signs
    (2019) Ogul, Hasan; Baldominos, Alejandro; Asuroglu, Tunc; Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo; AAC-7834-2020
    Sepsis is a life-threatening condition due to the reaction to an infection. With certain changes in circulatory system, sepsis may progress to septic shock if it is left untreated. Therefore, early prognosis of septic shock may facilitate implementing correct treatment and prevent more serious complications. In this study, we assess the feasibility of applying a computer-aided prognosis system for septic shock. The system is envisaged as a tool to predict septic shock at the time of sepsis onset using only vital signs which are collected routinely in intensive care units (ICUs). To this end, we evaluate the performances of computational methods that take the sequence of vital signs acquired until sepsis onset as input and report the possibility of progressing to a septic shock before any further clinical analysis is performed. Results show that an adaptation of multivariate dynamic time warping can reveal higher accuracy than other known time-series classification methods on a new dataset built from a public ICU database. We argue that the use of computational intelligence methods can promote computer-aided prognosis of septic shock in hospitalized environment to a certain degree.
